Advantages of Horizontal Centrifugation over Fixed-Angle Centrifugation
Horizontal Centrifugations leads up to a 4 fold increase in platelet and leukocyte yield when compared to L-PRF and A-PRF fixed-angle protocols.
Histological evidence that fixed-angle centrifugation leads to cell accumulation along the distal back surface of PRF tubes whereas horizontal centrifugation leads to more even distribution of cells.
Further evidence that fixed-angle centrifugation leads to uneven cell accumulation along the distal back surface of PRF tubes.
Evaluation of 24 different protocols for the optimization of PRF via horizontal centrifugation.
Improved growth factor release and cellular bioactivity of PRF produced via horizontal.
